Deep red colour with a lightly browning rim. Quite dark for nebbiolo. Complex nose of tar, cherries and fine floral high notes. Typical
and very elegant. In the mouth this is bursting with fruit. Still quite young. Mostly primary. But with some hints of coffee, tar
and leather. Concentrated fruit. High acidity and still a tannic end. Deserve 1-2 years more in the cellar. Will age well. Tremendous
Barbaresco, among the best I have tasted.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: Oct-99
Deep red colour. Some browning at the rim but not much bricking. Great and minerally complex nose. Loads of roses, hazlenuts and viols.
Hints of cherries. Full-bodied in the mouth. Very mineral wine with great concentration. tremendous balance with acidity and still
quite a tannic grip in the finish. The best Barbaresco I ever have tasted? For those of you that do not know Giovannini Moresco he
was regarded by Sheldon Wasserman as his favourite Barbaresco-producer. Wasserman also found the '79-vintage to be the best Podere del
Pajore ever made. Moresco stopped making wine in the early eighties and the vineyard was sold to Angelo Gaja and I guess he makes the
Sito Moresco from this vineyard. The Podere del pajore is also made by the (at least today) rare subvariety nebbiolo rosa. Strangely
enough (for the name) the colour of this wine is deeper many other nebbiolo-wines. One single bottle still resting in my cellar.
